Welcome to Yonder Willow Personal Development. I invite you to help me turn this into the go-to place to learn and share about everything related to personal development.
This site is currently under construction, as in the main content is not yet here. In the meantime, read below to find out what this site is about and enjoy the blog.
What Do I Mean By “Everything Related to Personal Development?”
For me, personal development includes everything that has to do with improving yourself in one way or another. Which includes a lot.
We can run the gamut of topics. That starts with basic, practical subjects like health and wellness. Runs through success topics like goal setting. And continues out into the more esoteric ideas around the Law of Attraction and other metaphysical topics.
I want to be inclusive on the things we discuss, but I also want everyone to feel welcome and accepted regardless of where they are in life. So we will need to be careful with some sensitive topics that might come up, like religion for example.
How I Got Here
I learned about personal development almost 20 years ago when I joined a network marketing company. (No, I’m not interested in talking you into joining a “business opportunity.” It’s just where I started.) They had a personal development program that taught some basic goal setting and we made a vision board.
This was about the same time that The Secret movie came out and the company had a personal services relationship with Bob Proctor, one of the primary teachers in that movie. Since then I have been sorting through everything that I can find about The Law of Attraction and metaphysics.
For me, the biggest challenge to actually getting anywhere with all of this is having someone to discuss it all with and bounce ideas off of.
Which brings me to what I want to do here.
Goal For This Website
I intend to create a membership area here where we can all join into a conversation on the different areas of personal development and learn from each other.
I’m not talking about weekly webinars where you tune in and listen to me or some guest “teacher” pitch their programs for their own profit, and maybe an affiliate commission for me. You can find that stuff all over the Internet. I want this to be different. This will be a place where we can all engage in real conversation with each other about topics that we care about.
I’m not a teacher. I see myself more as a student and I want to learn. I feel like I have a lot to share, but I have a lot more questions than I do answers.
There are plenty of websites out there where you can sign up and listen to their owner spout their ideas. Maybe they have a question and answer session afterward, but that isn’t a conversation. There are other sites where you can post questions and maybe get answers, but that isn’t really a conversation either. I want to create a space where we can have a conversation and hopefully really learn something out of it.
I’m not completely sure how this will all look, but that is the vision. If you have ideas, please share.
Join In The Conversation
Right now I’m writing an ebook with everything I have collected about personal development over the years. Once it is complete I will list it here for sale to generate the resources to create the membership area.
In the meantime, I am starting a personal development group on Facebook where we can start our community and the conversation (completely free).
Also, please feel free to enjoy the blog.
